Is the Knockoff Purse a Great Gift?
Jan 30, 2010 in
Great Gifts For Less
Attractive knockoff purses are said by some fashionistas to be the best things since sliced bread. We are able to purchase something for less than the big ticket price and it looks the same as the original does.
What is it about knockoff purses that make us go crazy? Moreover, what’s the psychology behind giving? As we look at the psychology of buying we can guess it’s almost parallel to the psychology of getting. We buy for ourselves and we buy for other people. Is a knockoff purse a great gift? Would the receiver look at you and think…you could have bought me something else, or the real thing? Let’s explore the value of a knockoff:
Original Envy: Picture this the knockoff purse is saying to the original handbag…na na na I can look like you, but I don’t cost as much. This is a symbol of envy. The knockoff for years has replicated the original so much so – it’s hard to tell what is what.
Cost Factor: This is a biggie. Because the knockoff purse is purchased at a reasonable cost and without doubt is just as stylish as the real deal.
Fashion Friendly: Knockoff purses look great with jeans and even with go and get em’ clothes. We can style and profile at a reasonable price and not feel that were broke and looking good.
No Buyer’s Remorse: How many times did you purchase a knockoff and feel guilty after? Most people would say never. The price is so reasonable how could you feel guilty after? Let’s say you did. Was it because you wanted the real thing but couldn’t afford it? Or was it because you should have purchased groceries, instead of a new handbag? Either case doesn’t seem so trivial.
Buying Freedom- the choice to choose: Now that knockoff purses are so popular we as buyers have a choice. We don’t have to choose between an array of handbags that cost more than our cell phone bills do. We have a choice to spend our money wisely. The freedom to purchase something cheaper…something that looks just as good.
Now it comes down to the pleasure of giving a gift. We all like to give and we especially like to receive. Now we know the skinny behind the knockoff we need to judge whether or not it makes a great gift. Its fashion friendly, cost less, looks great, and gives us the prestige we desire. If we’d buy it for ourselves, then perhaps there’s nothing wrong with buying it for another. Thus, the knockoff purse is a great gift.
